SUMMARY:Making gender equality central to post-COVID-19 recovery: Debt relief and innovative finance
DESCRIPTION:Register to attend\nWebinar | April 1\, 2021  \n8:30 a.m. EDT | 12:30 p.m. UTC\n1:30 p.m. BST | 3:30 p.m. EAT  (75 minutes)\nFind your local time \nAlongside the impacts of the pandemic\, the pressure of public debt is increasing for emerging economies. This heightens the challenges for an inclusive recovery\, and for addressing the gender inequalities that have been amplified during the pandemic.  \nAhead of the World Bank and IMF Spring Meetings\, the Partnership for Economic Policy (PEP) and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) are bringing together a panel of experts in gender and economics for a webinar to explore emerging research into debt management and policies that can promote gender equality.  \nDebt is a major concern for many countries and has been made worse by COVID-19. The economic recovery from the pandemic requires bold\, innovative\, and sustainable responses that address the simultaneous crises of debt\, climate change and inequalities. \nThis event on Thursday\, 1 April 2021\, will examine recent research into previous debt relief efforts—such as the Heavily Indebted Poor Country (HIPC) Initiative—and the current debt challenges. How is the growth of debt  limiting investments necessary to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement\, and affecting policy choices as countries seek to recover from the COVID-19 crisis? How can investments to address gender inequalities be promoted as part of debt relief? What can previous debt-relief efforts teach us to help make gender equality central to current debt management and recovery policies? \nSpeakers\nProfessor Jayati Ghosh (keynote and panelist) – Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst\, USA. Professor Ghosh previously taught economics at Jawaharlal Nehru University\, New Delhi for nearly 35 years. \nProfessor Diane Elson (panelist) – Emeritus Professor\, Sociology Department\, University of Essex in the UK. \nAndrew Hurst (panelist) – Director\, Economic Growth and IFIs\, Global Affairs Canada \nProfessor Jane Mariara (panelist on African research on gender in macro-economics) – Executive Director\, Partnership for Economic Policy \nModerator\nErin Tansey – Director\, Sustainable Inclusive Economies\, IDRC. \n  \nSimultaneous interpretation (English-French) will be available for this event. \nWebinars are online workshops that you can attend via the internet from your computer or portable internet device. \nThis webinar will use the Zoom video conferencing platform. If you have not attended a Zoom webinar before\, please read this guide to joining and participating as an attendee. \nThe event will be recorded to be distributed publicly afterwards.
